I hope you are beginning to return to a more active life. Sadly, people who have been double-jabbed still don’t feel safe. They may be shunning family members and long-time friends who have chosen not to be injected, even relatives and friends who had gotten COVID and had recovered. COVID is not like leprosy, syphilis, […]
In early October 2021, Americans, whether vaccinated or not, continue to be diagnosed with COVID-19. The use of a common disinfectant, povidone-iodine (PVP-I or Betadine™) has been suggested as a preventive measure, and seven studies have shown efficacy in early treatment or pre-exposure prophylaxis. For example, Bidra et al. showed rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 when […]
You may have been postponing a trip, wondering whether it is safe to fly again. I just returned from a conference in Pittsburgh, and things appeared normal—more or less. The plane was full, and the terminal was busy. There were frequent announcements over the loudspeaker about the requirement to be masked inside the terminal, under […]
By Richard Amerling, MD Why are the vast majority of practicing physicians doing absolutely nothing to help patients with early Covid-19? Here is an excerpt from a recent conversation with a junior colleague (JC) on early outpatient treatment of Covid with ivermectin (IVM): JC: Countries like mine depend heavily on guidelines from the WHO (World […]
“Fully vaccinated” has meant “one and done” for J&J COVID vaccine, or two jabs with Pfizer or Moderna after 14 days have passed. Now there is talk of boosters. If you are contemplating another jab, you might want to look at results from one of the most vaccinated places in the world, which now requires […]
Jane M. Orient, M.D. When the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) learned that doctors were writing 88,000 prescriptions a week for ivermectin, mostly for COVID-19, it apparently felt it necessary to message the yahoos of America on Twitter. From @US_FDA: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” I […]
I hope you don’t get COVID—if you do, you probably will have lot of trouble finding a doctor who will prescribe early treatment applying one of a number of published protocols. Doctors do not want to be called “foolish” by their colleagues or summoned to defend their license before the medical board. Ivermectin is the […]
By Jane M. Orient, M.D. Today we have two contrasting quotations from world leaders. One said: “Mandatory vaccinations will never be allowed because [this] is a free country and its people are sovereign.” The other said: “This is not about freedom or personal choice.” The first was by Vladimir Putin. Russia, a free country! The […]
In a letter to American Medical Association president Gerald Harmon, M.D., the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) raises questions concerning the AMA’s “startling and unprecedented position that American physicians should immediately stop prescribing, and pharmacists should stop honoring their prescriptions for ivermectin for COVID-19 patients.” AAPS points out that many physicians disagree with […]
By Jane M. Orient, M.D. As U.S. forces beat a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, defeated after 20 years by the primitive Taliban, who clung to their guns and their faith, America’s invincibility as the “world’s only superpower” might be disputed. Joe Biden told Americans, when speaking about his gun-control agenda, that to move against the […]
